Lady from Louisiana

Republic Pictures rework the gangster related lottery racket plot to a different period bringing it down to old New Orleans along with John Wayne & Ona Munson. For Republic this was a ambitious project, and it looks nice for a story well within the flavor of the time. The big disaster at the end was surprisingly spectacular. They were clearly signaling that they were now in the game to take on the big studios with their star John Wayne who carried himself fine for such a period piece.
